To celebrate mother's day I went to the plant delight nursery open house today. Their display gardens are so pretty! I wish I could have had more time to stroll the gardens, but my 5 year old was ready to go 15 minutes after we got there :0( They had such an awesome selection of plants for purchase, but they're not really what I would call affortable you know. So I ended up only getting a canna pink sunburst and canna panache. I'm very excited about them both! Then on my way back home, I decided to stop by a nursery near by and found a ginger Dr Moy, canna orange punch and a dark leaf pink double flowering begonia. So I think I've already had a good mother's day no breakfast in bed required :0) Have a good weekend everyone!! Monica

brittneysgran ~ Happy Friday!! thank you for the lovely box of yard sale items. I so enjoyed opening happy mail. The bird magazines, I am looking forward to reading since I have a bird feeder in the front of my place. I only wished I had more colorful birds that would visit my place :) Thank you for all the lovely goodies and so excited to plant them and watch them grow. I hope to treat them well because I know they came from a loving home. Thank YOU again for the prizes and the lovely box. I so appreciate your time in digging them out and packaging them to send to me. Take care!!!

I was just taking a moment to catch up on all the posts. Susan, I am glad they found your car in good condition too. That must have been an awful ordeal. Shirley, I am so sorry about your day lilies. The deer came over my fence and ate the top two feet off my roma tomato plants and helped themselves to zucchini and other squash plants as well. They also ate my my oriental and Asiatic lilies down to the stubs. I told my husband he is going to have to create an 8 ft tall fence inside our fenced back yard. I was so heart broken. I have been spraying to keep them out and everything but it is difficult to keep them out when they are hungry. My neighbor down the street built a 7 ft tall cyclone fence structure and added his raised garden beds all around the perimeter of his garden "room".. He said it has worked really well for him and I am going to have to resort to the same thing if I want to have a vegetable garden I guess. Tammy, many thanks again for hosting. I was so glad to participate and learned a lot too. I have posted August's OBF Be Well Swap this morning.
